Re: [android-developers] Help with Lint Warning

That's why it's just a warning. I really depends on how the XML layout
file is used. For instance, if your XML was used in setContentView(),
you could indeed get rid of the FrameLayout. However in your
particular case, you need both. Simply ignore the warning (you can
disable it.)
